Mr.Stu

It could be that SCOTUS is asked to take it, but they are famous for refusing cert on gun cases. Bruen was an outlier historically.

I have heard from first hand accounts that the command to "Fix bayonets!" to the British Green Berets had the Argentinians running away in the Falklands.

In my Glock 19 using Freedom Munitions hollow point target ammo I sometimes get this. https://www.freedommunitions.com/9mm-luger-124-gr-hp-reman.html What ammo are you using and have you tried anything else?

I have made an appointment with Dr. Greenspan. This seems to be a very popular office as the first appointment available is April 18! (TBH not a bad sign) They will do the exam and assess whether I will be better served with glasses or LASIK. They did confirm that bringing the slide in will be very helpful. It is a shame that I can't bring the whole gun, but the TRO did not block enforcement of the ban in healthcare facilities. Maybe that will change with the PI hearing that will be held soon.

I need to get a new prescription for my vision. I would like to use an optician who has a good understanding of what is needed for shooting. I would also like to explore LASIK and see if it is something that would help me. From what I am reading, LASIK can correct astigmatism and as I am getting into carry optics, I would really like to get rid of my astigmatism. I am in Hunterdon Co. but would be willing to travel for a good recommendation.

Darn you! That's three google searches you made me do

If your iron sights are the 3 dot variety, painted, tritium or fiber optic, try covering the dots on the rear sight with a small piece of black tape or whatever is handy. This will help identify the front sight in the unavoidable double image effect of keeping both eyes open and focusing on the target. You will only have 2 dots visible, rather than up to 6. I don't subscribe to the night sight doctrine, so all my guns that I use regularly have Dawson Precision sights with a red fiber front and a plain black rear. My carry guns have white lights mounted on them. If I turn on the light in a low/no light situation the tritium is washed out completely and is therefore without purpose. The fiber doesn't do anything for me in low light either, but it is far superior in normal lighting.

The ability to shoot both eye open varies from person to person. If you are strongly dominant one side or the other it is easier than someone who has almost equal dominance. I am training myself to be target focused, rather than front sight focused. Front sight focus is great for people still learning how to press the trigger without moving the gun. Once that skill is mastered, target focus is faster, and more natural if facing a threat, rather than just a target. When you perceive a threat you will naturally focus on that threat - often to the point of tunnel vision which is not great if there is more than one threat. In action competition shooting, target focus is also faster when it comes to target transitions. I'm also venturing into carry-optics divisions, and using an RDS should be target focused and both eyes open all the time. Are you using irons or optics?

There is nothing in the statutes saying you need a new permit if you move. The county on the permit is just who issued it. It doesn't even have to be the county where you live in all cases. E.g. if you got a permit as an armored car driver, the county where you work would have issued the permit, which is not necessarily the county where you live.

Answers, in the same order as the questions: Yes, many of us have received carry permits. There are some who applied early and went through the old process with the Superior Courts and others that have received permits using the new process where the permit is issued by the police. The liability insurance requirement does not come into effect until July 1, 2023 and is being challenged in Federal District Court. My opinion is that it will not withstand scrutiny and will get tossed. Until we find out one way or another, I am not going to worry about it. The text of the statute is: There is nothing in the statutes that indicate a carry permit holder needs to notify anyone that they have changed address because they have a carry permit. However, it would be unusual for a carry permit holder to not also have an FPIC, and that does have a change of address notification requirement. There is nowhere on the actual carry permit to put your address, and it is valid across the whole of NJ. As part of the application you need to submit your qualification scores with the gun you intend to carry. With the new process where the courts are no longer involved, there is no mechanism to restrict the permit to specific handgun(s) (there never was, but that's another story). The gun you intend to carry when you apply is not necessarily the gun you decide to carry later in the 2 year period that your permit is valid. If you get your permit under the new system, your permit is valid for any and every handgun you own, but legal advice is to at least have proof that you have passed a qualification course of fire with any other gun you decide to carry in order to show competence if you ever wind up in court. Side note: even though your permit covers ever gun you own, you are limited to carrying a maximum of 2 guns at a time. The statutes regarding possession of hollowpoints have not changed. They are still legal at and while travelling between the exempt locations, but not to carry around day to day. Filled hollowpoints are allowed. Hornady Critical Duty and Critical Defense are examples of these. The hollowpoint is filled with a polymer plug which aids consistent expansion. This is spelled out in the FAQ on the NJSP web site.

A magazine is not a restricted item, so long as it doesn't hold more than 10 rounds. I have a neomag holder in my left front pocket and I usually don't bother removing the magazine when I go disarmed to restricted places such as my kid's school.

Only 1 extension will be issued. After 180 days, you need a new permit.

I'd like to ask you guys to lend your names to this petition. Some of you have met Sandy and her GSDs. Valor's mother is one of these dogs that were killed by a supposed hunter. He was in court today trying to get early intervention on his criminal charges so they would disappear from his record in a year or so. The judge denied the request, thank goodness. Please sign the petition - it may help get this guy the sentence he deserves. https://chng.it/jnQJXgbgjf

How does a failure of the NJ State mandated subcontractor make you liable for paying fees all over again?

How do you even measure a group that is smaller than the bullets that made it?

When it hits the ground? Practically none. There was an issue with early Sig P320 pistols for which Sig has implemented a fix, but just about every reputable manufacturer includes safety features such as firing pin/striker safety blocks to prevent any discharges if the gun is dropped. Older designs, such as a pre series 80 1911 does not have a firing pin block, but does have a safety notch on the hammer in case the sear is tripped which will catch the hammer before it strikes the firing pin. Old style single action revolvers would be carried with an empty chamber under the lowered hammer so there was no round there to be fired if it was dropped on the hammer. If you instinctively attempt to catch the falling pistol, you are much more likely to inadvertently activate the trigger and make it fire, than would be the case if it just hit the ground. Any reputable instructor will tell you to let the gun fall, clear the area in front of the muzzle as far as the situation allows, then pick it back up.

No it wasn't. The retaining strap requirement was removed, but the holster remains. 2C:58-4 Permits to carry handguns. 2C:58-4. a. Scope and duration of authority. Any person who holds a valid permit to carry a handgun issued pursuant to this section shall be authorized to carry a handgun in a holster concealed on their person in all parts of this State, except as prohibited by subsection e. of N.J.S.2C:39-5 and section 7 of P.L.2022, c.131 (C.2C:58-4.6). One permit shall be sufficient for all handguns owned by the holder thereof, but the permit shall apply only to a handgun carried by the actual and legal holder of the permit and, except as otherwise provided in subsection b. of section 6 of P.L.2022, c.131 (C.2C:58-4.5), shall not be construed to authorize a holder to carry a handgun openly, provided that a brief, incidental exposure of a handgun while transferring it to or from a holster or due to the shifting of the person's body position or clothing shall be deemed a de minimis infraction within the contemplation of N.J.S.2C:2-11.

To make your attorney's job a little more achievable IF you get involved in a shooting, it is highly advisable to have qualified with the gun you were carrying.

Double check that there is a decent internet company in the area. Who watches over-the-air TV any more?

Check the statute - it is the bullet that is prohibited, regardless of whether it is assembled into a whole round of ammunition: 2C:39-3 Prohibited weapons and devices. 2C:39-3. Prohibited Weapons and Devices. f. Dum-dum or armor piercing ammunition. (1) Any person, other than a law enforcement officer or persons engaged in activities pursuant to subsection f. of N.J.S.2C:39-6, who knowingly has in his possession any hollow nose or dum-dum bullet, or (2) any person, other than a collector of firearms or ammunition as curios or relics as defined in Title 18, United States Code, section 921 (a) (13) and has in his possession a valid Collector of Curios and Relics License issued by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, who knowingly has in his possession any armor piercing ammunition, as defined in subsection gg. of N.J.S.2C:39-1, is guilty of a crime of the fourth degree. For purposes of this section, a collector may possess not more than three examples of each distinctive variation of the ammunition described above. A distinctive variation includes a different head stamp, composition, design, or color.

Can you get shot shells for this?

Or maybe hiding behind a giant Anaconda.

I love the Princess Bride reference on the box.

I was buying sausage at Marshall's Farm Market on Route 46 not far from the PA border a couple of weeks ago and I'm pretty sure I saw a sign for scrapple too. The sausage is delicious. Might be worth giving them a call. http://www.marshallsfarmmarket.com/
